Hi there,

I'd always considered joining nthw.com but never got around to it. However then I saw what ntl were up to on The Register, so I decided to join here!

Cheers,
Graham.

You would not believe some of the things I have removed from washing machines. Dog leads, kitchen knives, false teeth, bottle openers, £500 solid gold necklace, watches and millions of the usual suspects, coins and bra wires.

The best one ever was when I was still working for Hotpoint many years ago and was called out to a twin tub, down the side of the spin drum was a Dinky toy, a large wooden spoon and the top from a torch plus two batteries, its a long story, see if you can work it out.;)

ianarc 21-06-2003 23:12

Been an ntl customer for 4 years, 600K BB, Family Pack despite recent price hike (our 3 year old would never forgive me if we stopped getting Nick Jr).
Mainly lurked on the .com site - always found lots of useful info there though - hope this turns out to be the same.
Dropped in on Friday - saw the Community thread and then spent most of the afternoon clicking on Refresh to see when this site would appear.

Shame about the word filter :(

As has been more eloquently said elsewhere both sites are now user led (as opposed to ntl led) and as 'tos' have laid to rest the 'offending' forum thread and extended an 'olive branch' I am hoping for a new sense of mutual co-operation and respect between the sites ???? :cool:

Enterian 23-06-2003 10:53

Have been sitting on the fence for a very long time at the .com site, have now got a sore bottom so have come off the fence and moved here!

Long time "lurker" on the .com and many other forums.

NTL 1Mb (multiple PC's and 100Mb switched network running behind a Linux firewall/router) and two NTL phone lines (Sky TV as NTL's TV sucks) been on NTL for 3 years or so now.

I work as a third line technical support specialist for another ISP so am happy to help technically if I ever can.

Colin 25-06-2003 23:07

I'm Col D

used to post on .com ages ago when i worked for NTL but pretty much stopped as it idn't seem that much fun anymore. still they helped me out when i needed it.

hope this sitewill be how .com used to

---------------

can i just ask, why is this site a carbon copy of .com? personally i prefered it in the old days before the forum was split on the front screen. easier to move around that way. just an opinion

Mark D 26-06-2003 16:20

Hmmm...introduce myself.....

OK, here goes:

I was originally a mod/admin on the .com site, with the likes of Frank, Russ, Craig, Neil and Mike (to name but a few).

I do not work at ntl anymore. Some of you will already know why. Some of you will not. Needles to say i am not really welcome to post on the .com site anymore (by ntl i might add, not the mods/admins), So i was glad to see this site 'Rise out of the ashes', so i can start posting again.

I was a senior tech at ntl on the internet side so i can help out with anything that it internet and modem related (Just like the old days, eh!!!)

Anyway enough drivel.....

Needless to add that the website in question was saying some very nasty things about me and my friends.

So you feel that you were justified in your actions,yet your employer's were not?
I ask because I was one of those who received your email on New Year's Eve & I was not pleased.Prior to then,I had no idea who you were.

Yes and he paid the price - he paid what he owed. Can he not put it behind him now?

To answer your question Bill Payer....I was not justified as 2 wrongs do not make a right (my mothers old saying not mine). If you recieved the email i sent, was it news to you or did you already know :p
Should i be worried that you know who i am? Do i need to keep my back to the wall?

I stand by what i did. They dissed me (you should know what i am talking about if you were a member) and my friends. (although next time i will send a more polite email, and not get caught)

Russ 26-06-2003 18:26

This matter has been settled - the guilty party was dealt with and the site in question accepted the outcome and it all died down.

Other than for reasons of antagonism, I cannot see why people are bringing up the incident again. Remember what I said about there being not hate or abuse on this site? I stand by my word.

Back on topic now please.
